Amazing Uses for Frankincense Essential Oil

Amazing Uses for Frankincense Essential Oil

I adore Frankincense. It reminds me of my sweet baby boy. My amazing midwife rubbed a some Frankincense essential oil on his brand new body not long after he took his first breath… and as I snuggled him close those first 24 hours I could still smell the Frankincense. Now, nearly 8 months later, I still think of that precious newborn in my arms whenever I smell Frankincense essential oil. So yeah, it’s a favorite. But beyond bringing back some special memories, Frankincense essential oils has some remarkable properties. You will always find it in my home.

The History of Frankincense

Did you know that there are over 50 Biblical references to Frankincense? Frankincense is considered the holy anointing oil in the Middle East, where it has been used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years.The ancient Egyptians used it in rejuvenation face masks. It was valued more than gold during ancient times, and only those with great wealth and abundance possessed it. It is often diffused to enrich prayer, meditation, and enhance relaxation.

5 Amazing Uses for Frankincense Essential Oil

Note: My experience and expertise is with Young Living Essential Oils. The uses listed here are safe with these oils. If you are unsure about the quality of your essential oils be very careful and do not ingest. Also, even though Frankincense is one of the safest oils (it’s a favorite of my children!), it’s always wise to put 2 to 3 drops on the inside of your forearm to test for reaction, before using elsewhere on your body.

1. Beautiful Skin

Frankincense essential oil is great for your skin. I love to mix a couple drops of Frankincense in coconut oil as part of my oil cleansing method routine.

2. Healthy Respiration

Support your respiratory system with Frankincense. Inhale directly from the bottle, diffuse, or rub into hands and inhale. You can also rub some Frankincense essential oil on your toes or directly under the toes. Apply to chest and/or spine.

3. Calming

I use Frankincense to calm my young children when they are sick, worried, or overwhelmed. I rub a few drops, diluted with a carrier oil, on their chest and they always seem so peaceful afterward.

4. Help Support Emotional Well-Being and Hormones

Frankincense has been use as an uplifting mood booster. Diffuse it and notice the difference.

5. Help with Clarity and Focus

Used topically on the base of the neck or used aromatically can help with mental clarity and improve focus. You can also place three drops in the palm of your hand, rub hands together to warm the oil, and then hold hands around your hose and mouth while taking 3 deep breaths.
